“If you asked me to describe the perfect Rover experience it would be working with Ana. She was friendly and prompt with communication, provided great updates, followed instructions, and reached out when she had a question. Fantastic sitter.”
“Stephanie was phenomenal with my 2 cats, who can both be a little sassy in their own ways. She found all their favourites and had them waiting at the door for her visits within a couple of days. Would 100% recommend Stephanie to take care of your furry friends!”

“Rachel did a fantastic job taking care of our dog while we were out of the country!! Our dog is currently in training so we have some restrictions that he is under and she did a great job following those and making sure he stayed on track. She also kept us updated and sent us pictures!”
“Sarah is everything you could ask for in a pet sitter. She is 100% reliable and goes above and beyond. It is obvious that she truly cares about the pets that she is looking after. Can’t recommend her enough, and we will definitely see if she’s available for our future trips.”
About: For over 24 years, our dogs have been more than pets — they’ve been family. We’ve cared for two beloved dogs, including one with special needs and epilepsy, which gave us firsthand experience administering daily medication and responding calmly during emergency situations. We understand the patience, attention, and love that special-needs pets require because we’ve lived it ourselves. We know how hard it can be to trust someone else with your animal, and that’s why we care for every dog as if they were our own — with compassion, safety, and the same love we gave our own family pets. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine as it did for 22 years. During the summer, our teenage son is also home and enjoys helping with walks, playtime, and attention. Our daughter is also a huge helper and has a love for animals. Dogs receive consistent care, companionship, and plenty of love. We care for pets like they are part of the family. In our home, pets receive plenty of attention, supervised playtime, regular potty breaks, walks, feeding on their normal schedule, and a safe, comfortable environment. We also have experience administering daily medications and caring for special-needs pets. In a client’s home, we follow their pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free while their owners are away.
“Angela was amazing with Tofu. She spent plenty of time playing with Tofu and petting her. Normally, Tofu has a lot of anxiety meeting new people but she took right to Angela. Communication was clear and Angela arrived promptly at the scheduled time. Would 100% recommend her.”
“Dana was fantastic! Reliable, friendly, professional and diligent. This was our first experience with drop-in visits for our cats. We were a little nervous as they haven't been left alone for more than a day until now. Dana was wonderful in providing updates and keeping us in the loop with how they were doing. Everything was left clean and tidy when we returned and the cats were both happy. Highly recommend Dana!”
About: I currently work at a pet vaccination clinic, where I’m around dogs and cats of all breeds, sizes, personalities, and temperaments on a regular basis. This experience has taught me how to be comfortable and patient with all types of pets, from energetic pups/cats to shy or nervous and everything in between. I’ve also pet-sat for dogs and cats in the past and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your fur babies. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, making sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and care while you’re away. 💕 I’m available Monday through Friday and may also be available on some Saturdays and Sundays. Since I work weekends at my job, my weekend schedule can vary, and I may be home until around 7pm. Weekend availability and accommodations can be discussed to find what works best for you and what best fits my weekend schedule! 🐾 I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs of my own, and they truly mean the world to me. Before moving away from home, I actually had five dogs, so I’ve always been surrounded by lots of furry personalities, love, and companionship! When I am caring for your pets, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll keep up with their normal routines, provide fresh food and water, give them plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they get all the love and care they deserve. 🐾💕 I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies with someone else, so my goal is to give you peace of mind while giving your pets a fun, loving experience! 🐶🐱✨
“Jackie took amazing care of Tycho during our trip, with highly communicative updates that really gave us peace of mind — especially around the fireworks on July 4th. She went above and beyond, spending extra time with Tycho to help him feel safe and calm, and giving him lots of extra cuddles. We could not have asked for better care, and we’re so grateful to have found such a thoughtful, reliable sitter! Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover and pet owner for years! I have a Labrador who I’ve card for since she was just 8 weeks old, so I have firsthand experience with everything from the puppy stage to caring for an adult dog. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and plenty of attention, and of course, lots of love. I have also helped care for my neighbor’s dogs while they were away, including taking them on walks and making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I treat every dog like I would my own and want owners to feel completely comfortable knowing their pet is in caring and attentive hands. I work part-time remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. Since I’m home for much of the day, I’m available for regular walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and lots of companionship. My schedule also gives me flexibility throughout the week, so I can easily work pet care into my routine and make sure each pet gets attention and care they’re used to. My Lab, Holiday, is a very laid back girl, so I’m used to letting dogs settle into a routine that works for their individual personality and energy level. She eats twice a day and gets about four walks throughout the day, with plenty of time to relax and nap in between. When she’s awake and ready to play we spend lots of time together. Her personal version of fetch is seeing how many toys she can collect in her mouth at once, and she loves a good game of tug of war! I like to balance exercise, attention, and downtime, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable and at home as possible.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. One of our senior dogs is very anxious when we travel and has always struggled with boarding, often refusing to eat. Having him stay at home in his familiar environment with check ins with Macy made a huge difference! He was relaxed, happy, and eating well. We felt completely at ease while away and are so grateful for the care she provided.”
“Katie is a fantastic sitter, she was easy to work with and really friendly. She cares deeply about animals and was quick to provided information and pictures during each visit. She also responds very quickly. Overall, I highly recommend her services and I’ll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

About: I always lived in a house with dogs or cats. I’ve taken care of dogs large and small. I worked as a volunteer with therapy horses in middle school as a sidewalker and groomer. Additionally have taken care of chickens and rats from a young age. I am often times pet sitting a special needs (blind) greyhound. I currently am working a part time jobs where I build my own schedule. I am a dance teacher who leaves early in the morning for morning classes and then am usually free in the afternoons for the rest of the day. I am often able to add extra tasks in my day with this flexibility. I treat other people’s space with respect. Will clean up any mess/debris right away. I will keep your fur baby company and can provide much enrichment and love.
About: I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I grew up with pets and currently temp foster for a local animal rescue! This gave me hands-on experience in all aspects of pet care. I’m skilled in puppy training, senior pet care, administering medications, and creating safe, fun environments. I treat every pet with love, patience, and respect, ensuring they feel happy and secure while in my care! I’m a stay-at-home-mom and I have two kids under the age of 5. I’m a stay-at-home mom with two little kids, so my pet care fits around our family routine. Depending on the season and whether we spend time outside, I can provide walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I make sure every pet gets attention, love, and a safe environment, while keeping care consistent and reliable for pet parents. I have a big, open yard where dogs can play and explore safely, and I have a small fenced in area to keep your dog safe and secure. Occasionally, I may have a foster dog or cat in my home, which gives your fur baby companionship and socialization opportunities. I always supervise interactions, follow your instructions carefully, and make sure every pet feels secure, loved, and happy while in my care.
“Molly checked in on my pups the previous weekend. Plans caused us to be away longer from home so she came over to let them out and give them some lovin for us. She sent me pictures and updates. It was so nice knowing they were in such caring hands and of course getting the pics too was very sweet. Will definitely be booking Molly in the future.”
“Jeana could not have been a better sitter for our cats! She was attentive, kind, thorough, and went above and beyond! She sent us the most incredible photos every time she visited them and gave us a detailed description of how they were doing. We didn’t worry once about them knowing they were in Jeana’s care. Thank you, Jeana!!!!!!”

Andrea took such incredible care of our pups! She gave us great updates and made timely visits. Kept us well informed of everything going on with them, and communicated perfectly! Even went the extra mile and brought packages in for us while away! Highly recommend!
I booked Amillita for 2 check-in sessions at our house and she went above and beyond! This was my first time using Rover and I was a little nervous, but Amillita really made me feel like my pup, Dewey, would be in good hands during our meet and greet. And she definitely delivered! Dewey is a very energetic pup, so I was worried he’d be too much for her. But she played with him, fed him, and even walked him (even though he isn’t the best on the leash yet) 😅. She gave regular updates and sent lots of pictures. So very grateful for Amillita and would highly recommend her!
Claudia was amazing! This was our first time using Rover or any type of pet sitting service. At first I was slightly nervous as I knew our cats are somewhat shy and I didn’t exactly know what to expect. Claudia eased all my concerns! She was incredibly communicative leading up to her visits and our kitties loved her! Highly highly recommend and we won’t hesitate to book her again!
Lenny is great! She is my go to sitter for cats/dogs (5 total) every time we are out of town. This time it was just 2 cats as we took dogs with us but she did everything according to instructions and even went above and beyond when asked to water plants outside. Always, can rely on her for my animals to be well taken care off!
Leah was so incredibly kind to Ari and Sundance and we were so grateful for her help while we had an out of town trip. She was loving to them, very communicative, and even went out of the way to make sure that one of our pups didn’t jump around too much after eating his meal after I mentioned how we try to keep him settled. Her attentiveness to detail was so much appreciated!
I had a wonderful experience with McKenna! I was away traveling, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pets were being well cared for. She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated, which I really appreciated. It was clear that my pets were comfortable and well taken care of while I was gone. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets. I will absolutely request her service again!
Alyssa is just the absolute best. It is such a wonderful peace of mind when we’re out of town to know our two fur babies are in such wonderful hands. Alyssa has watched our tabbies every time we have been out of town and I can’t recommend her highly enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Woodlawn is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 15,116 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Woodlawn. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Woodlawn. On Rover:
- 84% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 90% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
